"What is the situation in Liangzhou?" Liu Kuan was lying on the couch, but his expression was much clearer.

Liu Song and Brother Gongsun each glanced at each other, but were speechless for a while.

"What can't be said now?" Liu Kuan smiled slightly. "How bad can the situation be now?"

"Half a month ago, the imperial court took Zuo Chang, Yang Gong, Yuan Gong, and Shangshu Ling Liu Bo'an jointly recommended that Song Xiao, a famous man of Fufeng, be replaced by Liangzhou Assassin History, and take charge of counterinsurgency matters." Gongsun Yue said honestly. "But as soon as Song Xiao arrived, the imperial court had already sent someone to take the lock again......"

"Defeated?" Liu Kuan asked slowly.

"It's not." Liu Song, who was his son, couldn't help but interject angrily at this time. "This Song Xiao seemed to be quite knowledgeable and capable before, but he didn't expect to be able to do that kind of foolish thing. My lord, you don't know what he did after he arrived, he actually wrote to the imperial court as soon as he arrived, asking the imperial court to levy the law of the Liaodong edition of the seal, and quickly print 10,000 copies of the "Book of Filial Piety" and distribute it to all parts of Liangzhou......

Liu Song's words were indignant, but Liu Kuan smiled slightly, looking unimpressed.

"Actually." Gongsun Fan couldn't help but interject. "There are rumors in Zhongtai that Song Xiao is not so confused, but after arriving in Liangzhou, he saw that the situation collapsed and was hopeless, so he thought of this way to get out."

Liu Song was stunned for a moment.

"Anyway, he didn't lose the battle, he was just incompetent and confused, at most he was sarcastic about Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's father and mother." Gongsun Yue also replied in a deep voice. "Therefore, after spending some money after entering Luozhou, you can still get out calmly, but staying in Liangzhou can only be a dead end."

Liu Song was completely speechless.

"I see." Liu Kuan, who was on the couch, sighed. "It's just curiosity, and I'm not talking about Liangzhou today...... that you may have other things to do. ”

The three of them tensed up in front of the couch.

"You guys can guess it." Liu Kuan said with a smile. "I'm going to die, I'm ...... after I die"

"Your Excellency!"

"Teacher!"

"Teacher ......"

The three of them knelt almost in unison.

"Get up." Liu Kuan said disapprehantly. "Winter deserves to die, but who made you protégés and sons so well cared for? It's washing your hands all day, it's not drinking non-boiling water, it's limiting the amount of alcohol you drink every day, it's a ground dragon, and it's ventilation...... It's hard not to survive. However, if today's things come to this point, please allow me to learn from Song Xiao's selfishness! If I don't die, I'm afraid I won't be able to be this old minister of the Han family. ”

The three of them were immediately overshadowed.

"In this life, I am kind to others, and I have no enemies." Liu Kuan sighed slightly, looked at the dark outside the window and said slowly. "And as an important minister of the clan, an imperial teacher, and a frequent captain, but sitting back and watching the world fall into such a situation, there is really no future and words of encouragement to entrust to you...... I used to buy a piece of land on the other side of the big river in my hometown of Hongnong, that is, at the foot of Wangwu Mountain in Hedong, at the junction of Shangdang and Hanoi...... My son should know. ”

"Yes!" Liu Song lowered his head and sobbed.

"The world is turbulent, Henan will inevitably be in turmoil, and when the time comes, your mother's coffin will also be raised, and I will be buried there." Liu Kuan said with emotion. "Hongnong's hometown land and family business, while there is still some use, all of them are exchanged for food and given to the villagers."

"Whoa!"

"If you look at it in ordinary terms, that's actually it." Liu Kuan raised his head and sighed. "There is only one thing, since Wen Qi is in Hanoi, I will leave my funeral to him to deal with, you don't care about it...... But before I die, don't alarm him. ”

Gongsun Fan bowed his head and was silent, Gongsun Yue was silent, but Liu Song was a little difficult to accept: "I ......"

"I didn't want to leave anything behind." Liu Kuan looked at his eldest son and said slowly. "But looking at you like this, I have to say more."

Liu Song hurriedly knelt down.

"My son," Liu Kuan still said slowly. "The adopted sons of the Yang family are smarter than the other, but I have always hoped that you can be foolish and ignorant, not incompetent, but selfish, and don't want you to be smart and mistaken...... I arrange and advise you like this, if you still can't survive the wind and waves, then I only say that this is the will of God. ”

Liu Song was helpless, so he could only lean over and kowtow on the ground, expressing his willingness to hand over all the affairs of the other party's death to Gongsun Xun.

"Wendian, Wenchao." Liu Kuanfu leaned on the bed and said to the remaining two. "Since that's the case, it's hard not to say a word to you...... Since the two of you have Wen Qi, the elder brother, you must know how to keep your duty, you can retreat but not advance, you can defend but not attack, and you can make it undesirable, so that you can last. ”

The Gongsun brothers didn't dare to slack off, and they also kowtowed.

"Alright." Liu Kuan suddenly laughed again. "I have been a good teacher in my life, but I have taught such a student, where do I have the face to tell you this here? But don't say anything, but help me up and go to the courtyard...... Temperance for months, and bring some drinks, and get drunk with me. ”

None of the three dared to disobey.

The night was smoky, under the same starry sky, in Huai County, Hanoi, Gongsun Xun was also drinking in the backyard with several henchmen while lamenting current affairs.

"Wen Qi has gone too far." Lu Fan couldn't help but persuade him. "The so-called timber, wood, aragonite and the like are miscellaneous after all, and it is relatively easy to purchase, so why say that kind of language?"

Gongsun Xun was holding his eldest daughter on his lap, and Ah Li was holding a cat in her arms, before the father and daughter were staring at the fat cat to lick the wine spilled on the case, as if they were deaf to Lu Ziheng's words. And it wasn't until the fat cat choked on the wine and struggled to break free and escaped, that our general Wei let go of his hand and let his daughter chase the cat under the care of the servant, and only then did he look at a few henchmen who were waiting for him.

"Ziheng is wrong." Gongsun Xun poured himself a drink before shaking his head and saying. "This time I am so out of shape, it's not for the so-called timber and aragonite thing......"

"What does that mean?" Lou Gui asked the fastest as always.

"This is the incorrigible meaning of the Son of Heaven." The answer for Gongsun Xun was Xi Zhong, who had already drunk a lot.

I have to say that Dong Zhao is not there, and Xi Zhong, who was born in the Legalist family, has a particularly outstanding insight into these things, and gradually has an indispensable feeling in Gongsun Xun's curtain, no wonder he has gained great trust and reliance in a short period of time, and came to the core staff circle of General Wei early...... At the same time, the jujube is not bad, but in the presence of Wang Xiu, he is not irreplaceable, so he can't squeeze here.

Lu Fan lowered his head and understood after a little thought: "What Zhicai means is that once the Son of Heaven pulls down his face, I'm afraid it will be out of control?" ”

"What's out of control?" Gongsun Xun raised his glass and sneered. "It's called a broken jar!"

"Judging from his past behavior, the Son of Heaven still understands it in his heart, right?" Lou Gui is really not good at this. "It's really strange, he is the one who is exempt from taxes, and he is the one who is endowed with it! Since he is exempt from taxes, it means that he understands that the people of Jizhou need to recuperate, but since he understands, why are they so greedy? ”

"It doesn't matter if you understand or not." Gongsun Xun responded. "The smarter a person is, the more unscrupulous he is to indulge! To put it bluntly, it is a lone husband and a thief who insists on going his own way, and the so-called evil is not to be feared...... As Zhicai said just now, this person is already hopeless! ”

"What about the prince?" Knowing that he couldn't get involved in these topics, Han Dang had always been silent, but he still couldn't help but ask at this time.

"That's a good question." Gongsun Xun put down his wine glass, sat upright, and glanced at several of his henchmen. "That's the problem...... I used to think that the addition of endowments was a special case, but today it seems that once the Son of Heaven indulges and breaks the bottom line of being a king, then there will be two if there is one, and there will be three if there are two! I can't be forced to roast on the fire again and again just because he has the name of a Wei general, right?! In the long run, I am afraid that the prestige and prestige I have accumulated over the years will be lost by this Son of Heaven! At this point, Gongsun Xun shook his head helplessly. No wonder Yuan Benchu has never been out of office, but later he is still ...... He is still a little insightful! ”

"In this way, there is only one way for the prince to go." With seven points of drunkenness, Xi Zhong seems to have a draft. "That's 'hidden'!"

"Hidden?" Lu Fan frowned slightly. "Do you want Wen Qi to resign and return home?"

"Not really." Xi Zhicai held the wine jug and calmly replied. "According to the law, there are 'big hidden', 'middle hidden', and 'small hidden', and in today's situation, the prince also has three corresponding ways to retreat......"

"Come on." Gongsun Xun hurriedly urged.

"One is to enter the court as a secretary, or go out as a general, and whether it is doing idle duties in the center or countering the rebellion on the front line, you can ignore everything and pretend to be deaf and dumb......" At this, Xi Zhong smiled slightly. This is called the Great Hide. ”

Everyone suddenly bowed their heads, after all, Chang Lin had once made such a suggestion to Gongsun Xun for the matter of adding endowment.

"Secondly, it is self-seeking and deprecating, secretly operating in remote places, and sitting and watching the situation there." Xi Zhong continued. "Whether the Son of Heaven wants to give him a gift, or what treasure he wants, give it to him...... Anyway, it is far away, and people in the world can't see how the prince copes with the errand, neither knows whether there is a buy of people's hearts, nor does he know whether there is a false errand, which is called Zhongyin. ”

Everyone's hearts moved slightly, and even Gongsun Xun stopped pouring himself drinks.

"As for the last hidden method, that is to simply resign from the government and go home to study and hope!" Xi Zhong raised his glass and smiled. "However, in this case, you might as well make some Xuan He before you go, and make some things, so that the people of the world will not forget the prince...... Of course, these are just general statements, and the real manipulation still has to be adapted to local conditions and change from time to time. ”

"I think Chuyin is the best." As soon as Xi Zhong finished speaking, Lou Gui couldn't wait. "The prince might as well ask for Yuyang, Youbeiping and other hometown border counties, and sit there and watch the success or failure! Now it seems that this situation has only been two or three years! ”

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly.

"I think the big hidden might be better." Lu Fan hurriedly said with a straight face, but glanced at Wang Xiu, who was sitting in a precarious position. "You must know that no matter what you want to do in the future, your position is still very important."

Gongsun Xun also took the opportunity to look at Wang Xiu, who had not spoken.

Wang Shuzhi felt the gaze, and he also reluctantly spoke: "The prince might as well use both the big hidden and the middle hidden, and ask for himself to pacify Xiliang, so that he can not only survive, but also serve the country and the people." ”

"Serve the country!" The drunken Xi Zhong sneered and asked with the intention of drinking. "Why should the king pretend not to understand? The prince invited you here, but I don't want you to teach him how to serve the country and the people. ”

"It's always right to serve the country and the people." Wang Xiu avoided Xi Zhengse and said to Xi Zhicai, who had drunk too much. "Brother Zhicai advised the prince to 'hide', isn't it precisely because Hanoi can't report to the country and the people? And what the prince wants to do is not just to stabilize the situation and serve the country and the people? ”

Xi Zhong was about to say more, but when he saw Gongsun Xun raise his hand to signal, he immediately shut up.

"Alright," Gongsun Xun said with a wave of his hand. "What Shuzhi said is true, if it weren't for the shamelessness of the Son of Heaven, why should I ask him to repay the country and the people? It's just Shuzhi, I won't go to Liangzhou...... That place, I also understand that it is already bad to the root, I am a Youzhou person, I may be able to win the battle, but I can't put down the rebellion. ”

Wang Xiu sighed slightly, and then bowed down to Gongsun and said, "Prince...... In any case, please be sure to see the people's hearts and minds before making decisions, and don't misjudge the situation. ”

"Then what does the prince want?" As soon as Wang Shuzhi's voice fell, Lou Gui immediately helped to play a round.

"Wait for me to write to ask Dong Gongren and Zhengnan." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head. "I'm going to drag it out for the time being...... Anyway, with the current situation, I don't believe that the Son of Heaven will directly ask for the life of me, General Wei and Jihou, because I owe him tens of millions of money! ”

"That's true." Xi Zhong, who was already eight points drunk, laughed and laughed. "After all, the Son of Heaven knows in his heart, in this situation where there are fires on all sides, how could he kill a general who is capable of counterinsurgency without authorization? is still a famous general from the Youzhou family! In my opinion, even if the Son of Heaven is really angry and wants to dispose of the prince, it is just to cut the lord, demote the rank, and then enter the court to be idle, or belittle the frontier...... On the contrary, it was as we wished! ”

"Isn't this enough, and drink ......" Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again when he heard this, and then raised his glass.

"Prince!" At that moment, one of the guards suddenly shouted in the distance. "Lieutenant Zhao Guodong's letter, just arrived."

"Say that Gongren and Gongren will arrive." Gongsun Xun immediately laughed, and then hurriedly motioned for the other party to send a letter.

Everyone was also curious.

However, Gongsun Xun tore open the envelope in public, only read an opening under the torch above his head, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he folded the letter into his arms again...... The henchmen became more and more unclear.

"It's all bad news." Gongsun Xun exhaled and said. "I only read the official letter sent by Luo Zhong before, but Gongren's letter is clear...... As soon as the plague subsided, the matter of adding endowments arrived, and the common people abandoned their homes and businesses to become bandits and homeless. It is said that when Julu Taishou Guo Dian Guo Junye went to rescue the city, he was surrounded by the remnants of the Yellow Turban and many bandits in Juluze, and now he is not known for life and death...... Huang Fuyi was really in a hurry to transfer troops to save him. ”

Everyone had contact with Guo Dian and knew that he was a loyal and upright person, and they were also emotionally moved when they heard the words.

"I don't want to see it just because I see it." Gongsun Xun continued to raise his glass. "The current affairs are difficult, today I will indulge in a drink, and tomorrow I will see what Dong Gongren said!"

When several henchmen heard this, they hurriedly held their cups and prepared to get drunk with their princes.

"Is there still alcohol in the army?" Still under the same starry sky, in the depths of Juluze, in the dark night, the gray-haired Guo Dian suddenly turned his head and asked his nephew Jing Ze. "There will be a hard battle tomorrow, and let me ...... Moisten your throat. ”
